In July my nephew Kailash was born in London. We headed over for a weekend to meet him when he was a month old.
That same weekend my cousin had a 50th birthday party, so it was a nice catchup with other relatives too, and on the same day in Malaysia my grandmother celebrated her 90th birthday!All the best people are born in July 😉

In August a friend got married in Crail (near St Andrews), so Lex and I headed down together for the evening ceilidh. It was a lovely film-themed wedding, and it was also a reunion of knitting group friends now in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, and Aberdeenshire.

Before leaving the next day, Lex and I had a wee wander round town in St Andrews.A scale model of The Kelpies is ‘on tour’ and currently at St Andrews, but I’m not sure how long for.

And in September my parents came to spend some time in London with the newest member of the family, and had a week with us in Inverurie too.

There’s also been a fair bit happening in the garden, which I’ll leave for next time
